UK Insulin Drugs & Delivery Devices Market Analysis
The UK Insulin Drugs And Delivery Devices Market size is estimated at USD 499.83 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 549.15 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 1.9% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
One of the most significant risk factors for a severe course of COVID-19 is diabetes mellitus. This risk is believed to be influenced by several variables that are frequently present in diabetes mellitus, such as advanced age, a proinflammatory and hypercoagulable condition, hyperglycemia, and underlying comorbidities (hypertension, cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and obesity). Diabetes was quickly recognized as a risk factor for bad results during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, managing or delaying cases of type 2 diabetes has become more important than ever before. Several studies have confirmed that chronic diseases like diabetes are associated with adverse outcomes in COVID-19 patients.
An insulin infusion pump works as an alternative to the traditional system of daily injections or an insulin pen. Insulin infusion pumps reduce the large swings in blood glucose levels, lessen pain, and deliver more accurately than injections. The scheduling of meal timings is not required when using pumps. This makes infusion pumps more user-friendly for patients. Insulin therapy is also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). It is an efficient and flexible method of insulin delivery. The insulin pump has evolved and is more reliable than it was previously. CSII technology has witnessed numerous technological advancements, like the integration of continuous glucose monitoring with the pump. Now, insulin pumps can control the algorithm, automatically delivering the insulin after analyzing the blood glucose reading.
UK Insulin Drugs & Delivery Devices Market Trends
Rising diabetes prevalence
In the United Kingdom, the diabetic population is expected to witness a CAGR greater than 2% over the forecast period.
According to Diabetes UK, more than five million people in the United Kingdom are living with diabetes, which is an all-time high. Their data shows that more than 4.3 million people in the United Kingdom live with diabetes. Additionally, 850,000 people could be living with diabetes who are yet to be diagnosed. These registration figures for 2021-22 are up by 148,591 from 2020-2021. At this rate, the number of people with diabetes, including the undiagnosed population, is expected to rise to 6 million by 2030.
The rate of newly diagnosed Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes cases is increasing, mainly due to obesity, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity. The rapidly increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetic patients and healthcare expenditure are indications of market growth. Leading manufacturers are focusing on technological innovations and developing advanced products to gain a substantial market share. There has been a significant rise in insulin delivery systems technology, ranging from insulin injections to insulin pumps. Technological innovations and advancements offer many conveniences in maintaining blood glucose levels.
Therefore, owing to the increasing diabetes prevalence, the studied market is anticipated to witness growth over the analysis period.
The Insulin Pumps Segment is Expected to Witness Highest Growth Rate Over the Forecast Period
An insulin pump is a device that automatically delivers insulin continuously, or whenever required. The pump mimics the human pancreas. The insulin infusion pump works as an alternative to the traditional system of daily injections or an insulin pen.
Insulin pumps held a major market share in the insulin delivery devices market in the current year, and it is expected to register a CAGR of more than 4.2% in the market during the forecast period because of the increasing technological advancement and its preference over other traditional methods due to continuous insulin administration. Insulin pump therapy is a well-established insulin administration method for type 1 diabetes (T1DM) people. Pumps are a validated, time-tested therapeutic option in T1DM at all ages, enabling near-physiological insulin delivery in situations where the pancreas does not produce insulin. There are even pump models with remote controls enabling parents of young children to either suspend or bolus insulin from a distance when the child is playing or eating. The insulin infusion pumps reduce the large swings in blood glucose levels, induce less pain, and deliver more accurately when compared to injections. These advantages of insulin pumps over the traditional delivery system are expected to boost the market.
The National Service Framework (NSF) program is improving services by setting national standards to drive up service quality and tackle variations in care. The Association of British HealthTech Industries (ABHI) launched a diabetes section, enabling diabetes technology companies to work together in the first forum of its kind. The ABHI group is for any health technology company with an interest in diabetes care, from CGM and insulin pumps to apps.
The use of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII or insulin pumps) and continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMs) has improved the care and quality of life for patients and is widely used in the ambulatory setting. Increasingly, this technology is also being used in the hospital setting. The COVID-19 pandemic emphasizes the need for good glycemic control in patients with diabetes, largely because most observational studies have reported that poorly controlled diabetes is associated with a higher risk for hospitalization and death from a viral illness. The frequency of monitoring glucose levels depends on the type of diabetes, which varies from patient to patient. Type-1 diabetic patients need to check their blood glucose levels at regular intervals, monitor their blood glucose levels, and adjust the insulin dosing accordingly, which is expected to drive the segment growth during the forecast period.

UK Insulin Drugs & Delivery Devices Industry Segmentation
Human insulin is administered to regulate blood sugar levels in individuals diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, a condition characterized by the body's inability to produce insulin and consequently unable to regulate blood sugar levels. It is also prescribed for individuals with type 2 diabetes, a condition where blood sugar levels are elevated due to the body's inadequate production or utilization of insulin, and oral medications alone are insufficient in managing the condition. There are several ways to give insulin subcutaneously, including a vial and syringe, an insulin pen, and continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). The United Kingdom Insulin Drugs and Delivery Devices Market is segmented into Drugs (Basal or Long-acting Insulins, Bolus or Fast-acting Insulins, Traditional Human Insulins, Combination Insulins, and Biosimilar Insulins) and Devices (Insulin Pens, Insulin Pumps, Insulin Syringes, and Jet Injectors).
